I received a set of copper gaskets with my new AA P&C's and I assumed they go between the heads and cylinders (they fit perfectly inside the heads around the valves) but after I torque up the heads there looks like there is a space between the head and cylinder the same thickness as the copper washer - did I put those in the wrong place?
I watcehd Jake's video and he mentions nothing about a gasket here? |

To prove not to use them Aaron redid his top end after 30k miles and 1 maybe 2
of the aluminium head gaskets were burned thru with about 1" gap. I have also taken other engines apart that had them and most of the time they were burnt. Some say its ok to use em but why take a chance. Just lap the cylinders to the head and be done with it. |
